whoops this turned out super chaotic.
:U the short of the long is that this isn't worth reading, but I like to have something down.
Once upon a time I wrote up a really big canon compilation for Mukuro. All of the links are broken because onemanga died, but yes.
Yeaaay childhood. Basically "people not our family hated us and wanted us to die" and "people who were our family used us and didn't care if we died", sounds like fun! It looks pretty terrible to be a child weapon experiment. Ken says that they didn't have any place to go, really. No place for them. No security. So forth and so on. And then from there forward Mukuro basically plays role of bully and aggressor. Except for when he plays the role of the c-c-clumsy and well meaning subservient dude except then he is still being a bully underneath it allunderneath it all~.
Mukuro has a lot of surface characteristics! His, uh, special laugh. Hand gestures, a sort of performative personality. Cockyness. TERRIBLE SENSE OF HUMOR. Then there is also a layer of ritual! He has a big thing for certain kinds of ritual or symbolism. And then there is a layer of hate :'Db Annnd a layer of wants/desires.
This is relatively inaccurate. But the point is moving from the 'core self' outwards passes through desire, then rage, and then all of the other bends of his personality. And then does a bit of a loopy doop because he's a nutjob. I like doing thoughtmaps for my characters, don't judge.
But hey! You might think. Mukuro doesn't remember life being terrible! No, but he does remember the ambiguously referred to 'Hell' because I picked that as his first memory. Also while his thoughtmap isn't entirely the same, the paths are there. He doesn't have a layer of hate and rage, but he does have a layer of irritation and dislike. He isn't necessarily as cocky as he is in canon, but he does have at least the hefty feeling of divisions of ranks of people and selves. He isn't as roundabout as he is in canon, there's fewer layers of deceit to go through. He isn't as much of a liar but he certainly isn't a truth lover either.
One of the interesting things about Mukuro is that he's someone who gets derailed by his own desires/ritual/humor a lot. Or at least, takes the path not necessarily the most effective forplot more stylistic reasons. He usually is grounded by the deep cutting desire for revenge on the mafia and uh, ultimate death of the world I guess. He isn't really unbalanced yet in Aather but it's more of having an unsteady mind that will probably tilt sooner rather than later. And then how he grounds it will be determined by ... well, circumstance (if he doesn't remember hating everything/mafia/etc first).
Some canonical assumptions/headcanon I usually have when I play Mukuro |Db:
• he totally picked his own name. He thought it was cool and fitting.
• The ear piercings were all done at home. He might've gotten Chikusa to do them or done them himself.
• He's fluent in both Japanese and Italian and probably speaks at least half of another language.
• personal reality, objective reality, projected reality and flexible mental reality are all important to him and he keeps them all in different mind boxes.
•he shops in the girl section of hot topic his fashion sense is a byproduct of his individualism...ness.
• while he isn't possessive in the traditional sense, he has a very deep sense of what is his and what is not and this dynamic runs through a lot of his interactions with other people
• he wanted to killlll the worrrllddd, not rule it
• sometimes he has compulsions to do things and just rides them out because they're ~fun~
• has a terrible sleep pattern
• though this is canonical, he likes chocolate and dislikes spicy food.
Aather habits? stuff:
• terrible sleep pattern! mostly sleeps for a few hours and then is AWAKE!1 for at least an hour and then sleeps again. I guess it's more like a series of naps than it is sleeping.
• in general his default is "irritated with you, dislikes you, doesn't see why you are worth any of his time" though team is slightly different.
• prefers the sweet fruits over the other food in the basket. Will probably have to startfighting preemptively hoarding it.
I guess more stuff will come later :|a I should really just draw my thoughtmaps out for my characters, but I'm lazy and photoshop is closed.
No teammate section because besides Ahiru he has "slightly more charitable thoughts on teammates than everyone else". And on Ahiru he likes the duck because it's not annoying.
